AQ off. How to play?
 

How would you play in my position? Check the flop? Bet out turn if blank hits? What would you do?

Re: AQ off. How to play?
 

This would depend on my read of the player. Have you seen him flat call a continuation bet before? Did he fold to a second barrel?

I would be tempted to bet the turn, but as played I don't have the confidence to bluff on the river yet so I would fold. This may be weak though.

I'd bet something like 2/3 pot on turn and take the free showdown if available. As played I think you're losing to a mid PP too often to make the river call without a bluff type read.

you played it fine. fold river.

Re: AQ off. How to play?
 

What would he check/call flop with that you're ahead of?

I check turn. With the nine on the turn I see him check calling/raising 2/3 pot bet more often then folding.

fold river.

Ok thanks everyone. I thought folding river made me look weak. Was not sure if Ace high was good enough for a call.
